6 2013-144.0 ATTENDANCE
4.1 A student shall be eligible to write University examinations if he
acquires a minimum of 75% of attendance in aggregate of all the
subjects.
4.2 Condonation of shortage of attendance in aggregate up to 10%
(65% and above and below 75%) in each semester shall be
granted by the College Academic Committee.
4.3 Shortage of Attendance below 65% in aggregate shall not be
condoned.
4.4 Students whose shortage of attendance is not condoned in
any semester are not eligible to write their end semester
examination of that class.
4.5 A prescribed fee shall be payable towards condonation of
shortage of attendance.
4.6 A student shall not be promoted to the next semester unless he
satisfies the attendance requirement of the present semester, as
applicable. They may seek readmission into that semester when
offered next. If any candidate fulfills the attendance requirement
in the present semester, he shall not be eligible for readmission
into the same class.
5.0 EVALUATIONThe performance of the candidate in each semester shall be evaluated
subject-wise, with a maximum of 100 marks for theory and 100 marks for
practicals, on the basis of Internal Evaluation and End Semester Examination.
5.1 For the theory subjects 60 marks shall be awarded based on the
performance in the End Semester Examination and 40 marks
shall be awarded based on the Internal Evaluation. The internal
evaluation shall be made based on the average of the marks
secured in the two Mid Term-Examinations conducted-one in
the middle of the Semester and the other immediately after the
completion of instruction. Each mid term examination shall be
conducted for a total duration of 120 minutes with 4 questions
(without choice) each question for 10 marks. End semester
examination is conducted for 60 marks for 5 questions to be
answered out of 8 questions.
Structural Engineering 75.2 For practical subjects, 60 marks shall be awarded based on the
performance in the End Semester Examinations and 40 marksshall be awarded based on the day-to-day performance asInternal Marks.
5.3 There shall be two seminar presentations during III semesterand IV semester. For seminar, a student under the supervisionof a faculty member, shall collect the literature on a topic andcritically review the literature and submit it to the department ina report form and shall make an oral presentation before theProject Review Committee consisting of Head of the Department,Supervisor and two other senior faculty members of thedepartment. For each Seminar there will be only internalevaluation of 50 marks. A candidate has to secure a minimum of50% of marks to be declared successful.
5.4 A candidate shall be deemed to have secured the minimumacademic requirement in a subject if he secures a minimum of40% of marks in the End semester Examination and a minimumaggregate of 50% of the total marks in the End SemesterExamination and Internal Evaluation taken together.
5.5 In case the candidate does not secure the minimum academicrequirement in any subject (as specified in 5.4) he has to reappearfor the End semester Examination in that subject. A candidateshall be given one chance to re-register for each subject providedthe internal marks secured by a candidate are less than 50% andhas failed in the end examination. In such a case, the candidatemust re-register for the subject(s) and secure the requiredminimum attendance. The candidate’s attendance in the re-registered subject(s) shall be calculated separately to decideupon his eligibility for writing the end examination in thosesubject(s). In the event of the student taking another chance,his internal marks and end examination marks obtained in theprevious attempt stand cancelled. For re-registration thecandidates have to apply to the University through the collegeby paying the requisite fees and get approval from theUniversity before the start of the semester in which re-registration is required.
8 2013-145.6 In case the candidate secures less than the required attendance
in any re registered subject (s), he shall not be permitted to
write the End Examination in that subject. He shall again re-
register the subject when next offered.
5.7 Laboratory examination for M. Tech. courses must be conducted
with two Examiners, one of them being the Laboratory Class
Teacher or teacher of the respective college and the second
examiner shall be appointed by the university from the panel of
examiners submitted by the respective college.
6.0 EVALUATION OF PROJECT/DISSERTATION WORKEvery candidate shall be required to submit a thesis or dissertation
on a topic approved by the Project Review Committee.
6.1 A Project Review Committee (PRC) shall be constituted with
Head of the Department and two other senior faculty members.
6.2 Registration of Project Work: A candidate is permitted to register
for the project work after satisfying the attendance requirement
of all the subjects, both theory and practical.
6.3 After satisfying 6.2, a candidate has to submit, in consultation
with his project supervisor, the title, objective and plan of action
of his project work for approval. The student can initiate the
Project work, only after obtaining the approval from the Project
Review Committee (PRC).
6.4 If a candidate wishes to change his supervisor or topic of the
project, he can do so with the approval of the Project Review
Committee (PRC). However, the Project Review Committee (PRC)
shall examine whether or not the change of topic/supervisor
leads to a major change of his initial plans of project proposal.
If yes, his date of registration for the project work starts from
the date of change of Supervisor or topic as the case may be.
6.5 A candidate shall submit his status report in two stages at least
with a gap of 3 months between them.
6.6 The work on the project shall be initiated at the beginning of
the II year and the duration of the project is two semesters. A
candidate is permitted to submit Project Thesis only after
Structural Engineering 9successful completion of theory and practical course with the
approval of PRC not earlier than 40 weeks from the date of
registration of the project work. The candidate has to pass all
the theory and practical subjects before submission of the
Thesis.
6.7 Three copies of the Project Thesis certified by the supervisor
shall be submitted to the College/School/Institute.
6.8 The thesis shall be adjudicated by one examiner selected by the
University. For this, the Principal of the College shall submit a
panel of 5 examiners, eminent in that field, with the help of the
guide concerned and head of the department.
6.9 If the report of the examiner is not favourable, the candidate
shall revise and resubmit the Thesis, in the time frame as decided
by the PRC. If the report of the examiner is unfavorable again,
the thesis shall be summarily rejected. The candidate has to re-
register for the project and complete the project within the
stipulated time after taking the approval from the University.
6.10 If the report of the examiner is favourable, Viva-Voce examination
shall be conducted by a board consisting of the Supervisor,
Head of the Department and the examiner who adjudicated the
Thesis. The Board shall jointly report the candidate’s work as
one of the following:
A. Excellent
B. Good
C. Satisfactory
D. Unsatisfactory
The Head of the Department shall coordinate and make arrangements
for the conduct of Viva-Voce examination.
6.11 If the report of the Viva-Voce is unsatisfactory, the candidate
shall retake the Viva-Voce examination only after three months.
If he fails to get a satisfactory report at the second Viva-Voce
examination, the candidate has to re-register for the project and
complete the project within the stipulated time after taking the
approval from the University.
